Gerda and Kay are the best of friends, but tragedy strikes Kay when his eye and heart are pierced with fragments of a mirror, and the loving boy Gerda knew vanishes. The Snow Queen puts him under her spell and takes him to her palace of snow and ice. It is up to Gerda to find him and bring him home to the love that awaits him. This classic tale is beautifully illustrated with the folkart Scherenschnitt.

From the Publisher:When Kay is put under a spell by the Snow Queen, it is up to his playmate and friend, Gerda, to find him and bring him home, in a retelling of a classic folktale which includes delicate, cut-paper artwork.
